The Papagayo Arena Hotel in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. Well where do I start? This was the best holiday ever.Didn't want to return. First time we've gone All-inclusive so didn't know what to expect. The food was terrific--all freshly cooked and beautifully presented. Don't go there though if you want to diet! You could have stuck to fruit and yoghurt but... more

Our coach journey took nearly 90mins - If you have a spare 35-40Euro I would reccommend getting a taxi straight to the hotel which will take approx 40mins. When we arrived at the hotel we were... more
